History & Mission

Our History

Ellen Orkin and Pamela Friedman met back in 1993 when their daughters were in pre-school together. They discovered quickly that they had a common passion for everything to do with food. Ellen and Pamela began cooking together on a social basis for dinner parties, cocktail parties, barbeques and all family celebrations. Friends frequently insisted their food was so delicious they should start a business, and with this encouragement Word of Mouth Foods was born…

Pamela’s background is in law and Ellen’s is in food and restaurant management. The two have been in business together since 2002 and are still creating and delivering new and innovative dishes for their ever-expanding clients base.

Be it a corporate event, small dinner party, or a 200 person wedding, it is their goal to make their clients a guest at their own event and leave them with truly remarkable memories.

Our Mission

Our mission is to always deliver the highest quality food, service and attention to clients’ needs/wants as possible.

At Word of Mouth Foods we respect the uniqueness of each customer’s tastes and values, and strive to exceed their expectations. We have a true passion for food and our efforts show in the presentation of the food and its fabulous taste.

Be it a small dinner party, corporate brunch/lunch or a large scale formal affair, don’t let the thought of entertaining be a chore. We can do as much or as little for your event as you would like – from one dish to managing the entire event – and make it an effortless and memorable experience for both you and your guests.

We will take all the stress out of entertaining and leave you with enjoyable memories of your event. We aim to provide quality food and service with love and caring as essential ingredients.
